After reading chapters eleven and twelve the words that popped in my head were fear. So the word I pick is fear because it is shown in the two chapters. Fear is shown in the chapters because Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry all feared they would be separated. And they were because they had to go to court for what had happened. Since Ponyboy got in trouble with the law for killing Bob and running away from the crime. So fear played a big part in the last few chapters. But lucky they didn’t got separated nor want to jail for killing Bob. Even if he didn’t do it and it was self defense. So they were happy that they didn’t get separated and got put in foster care. So both Sodapop and Ponyboy were still in Darry’s care. Ponyboy didn’t want to believe that Johnny had died he wanted to believe that he was still alive. And at the end Ponyboy was failing his English class but wrote an excellent report about his life, which is The Outsiders. So that’s why I picked fear the described the two chapters of the book The Outsiders.

“FRIENDSHIP”
The word that I picked for chapters nine and ten is the word “friendship”. Because in these two chapters you see all the greasers caring for each other during the rumble because they do did want their friends or family members to get hurt in the rumble. They will protect you help you when you need help. So that’s shows friendship they had with each other also with each other also with Johnny while he was in thw hospital for the burns he got. While he was helping saving a group of little kids that were trapped in the burning church. They like loved Johnny very much and they all cried when he dies in the chapters of the book The Outsiders.
The word that I picked is “survival” because Johnny and Dally were in the hospital because what had happened when they were trying to save the little kids in the burning church. They survived from the burning church but they were both buried with the fire. Johnny was burned very badly that he might die or be cripple for the rest of his life. Dally was burned but not as bad as Johnny. PonyBoy, Dally, and Soda were waiting for Johnny and Dally in the hospital to see how they are doing, which showed that they really cared for them and love them like family. But it’s mostly about survival because they survived from the burn that happened it was a brave thing to do and they were trying to survival while they were in the hospital. Especially, Johnny was trying to survival because he was badly burned and he might die because of the burns. Also there is going to be a rumble against the Socs and Greasers. So the chapters seven and eight are about survival to me.
Power Question
1. I think that power is a knowlege. You can’t touch power so that’s why it knowledge. If you have knowledge you know everything and your always on top of everyone. That’s good for you if your trying to get a job or doing something like that.
2. Now, lets take the worker and friend being promoted as an example. Maybe the friend who wasn’t promoted feels bad because he never gets to talk to him anymore because he’s always in business trips. Then the worker might be all mad and jealous at him and not talk to him anymore. Then the one who got promoted might get mad at him and not want to talk to each other. That can really mess up a relationship.
3. It puts more pressure and stress on the person who is making the decision. It makes think more about their decision. They have to think about everyone who is going to be affected by this decison. It also might have a realy big impact on people if the person makes the wrong decision.
4. I guess that it just makes someone feel different. It makes them feel like their in control and can do anything they want, but they can’t. Power is just a force that to me is knowledge. That is what power is to me.
TH3 OUT$!D3R$ CHAPT3R$ 5-6
The word that i picked for chapters five and six of The Outsiders is “heroic”. The reason I picked this word is because this word explains the chapters because Johnny and Ponyboy ran away. And they started to stay in this old church then one day Dally goes to visit and check on them to see how they are doing. So they lefted the church to go and eat at a Dairy Queen. So they decided to turn themselves in the to police but they went back to the church. But the church was on fire and some kids were still inside so they go inside to go and save them. But all the little kids get out and also PonyBoy. But except Johnny and Dally they got burned from the fire. So that’s why I picked the word “heroic” because they are heroes for saving the little kids and risking their own lives to save others. So they did something very brave because Randy from the said that he wouldn’t have saved the little kids in the burning church. So I think this “heroic” describes the chapter then PonyBoy gets his picture in the newspaper too. But even said that was a hero and those are some reason why I picked that word to describe the chapters five and six.
